Finally assigned to face battle.
All these efforts not wasted after all.
Excited for the final battle
and the defeating of my rival.
The bringing down of my enemy
and the cheering of my victory.
Finally the day has come.
I stared down at my feet and said to myself,
“have no mercy”
I heard footsteps approach.
I’m ready.
I lifted my head to look into my enemy’s eyes.
No. This cannot be.
There you stood right in front of me.
Why, why must it be you.
My legs and hands started to shake.
I’ve lost my courage.
I cannot kill you.
The roars of the audience rose.
I cannot fight you.
In my eyes you are perfect.
Hatred and dullness showed in your eyes.
I looked into your eyes for the last time
before the final battle began.
Fulfilling the expectations of the crowd
As the cheers rose higher.
The battle soon came to an end
With both of us meeting a draw.
We both made it alive with the same level of victory.
Yet, I was the one walking out feeling more remorseful than before.
That look in your eyes flashed past repeatedly over and over again.
Missing the happiness I once saw before.
